NYFW creator Fern Mallis reacts to poor seating at runway show

New York Fashion Week creator Fern Mallis — whom we reported was given a standing-room-only ticket to a show by one designer this season — told us of the fallout, “I’ve heard this from one or two PR firms, that they’ve all had meetings with their staff after that about how important it is to know who’s coming, and to understand who is in your seats … often, it’s younger, new, people who don’t know who people are.”

Nevertheless, Mallis says she stayed for the show and she says of the frenzy over seating that insiders “need to chill a little bit … nobody should yell. Be nice … Don’t waste your anger on that.”
